Winter in Canada, will probably stay between -10c and -30c for the next few months. My problem is I have alot of condensation/ice build up on the door windows. My heater works good and blows hot air but even after 2 straight hours of driving with the defrost on full the windshield and door windows are still coated with ice. The windshield ice is just by the rear-view mirror but most of my door windows are so fogged up/icy that I need to lean forward to look out them. Does anyone have a fix for this or an idea why it may be?
Both windows are solid, although the driverside seems like it used to sit on more weatherstripping. You can push on the stripping and expose the interior to the cold. Here are some pictures aswell. Sorry, crappy phone.
Your outer window seal is obviously damaged and is likely letting moisture accumulate inside of your door and hence interior causing the icing inside. It's hard to tell if the window is positioned properly or not as I havent looked at a hardtop 2g closely in quite some time.
When you have your defrosters on, for full effect you have to have your a/c compressor on and working to pull the moisture out of the interior. If your carpet or floormats are wet or damp you will never get clean windows, also remember to have your hvac settings to "outside" or "fresh air" not "recirculate" on recirculate you are taking moisture from inside the car, including your breath and just cycling it over and over without ever removing the moisture. If it comes down to it, you can use big desicant packs inside your car to try to dry it out.

I am looking for that outer seal, wherever I search most people are looking for the inner weather stripping. Does anyone have a part number for the outer?

Yes the glass is forward, if you check my 3rd picture that plastic/rubber is broken so it eventually just leans forward again.

So I have had it on recirculate forever thinking it would recirc the warm air and dry it out. I switched it and it seems to be alot better. Also, what is that small roller beside the center console vents that has a blue pic on top and white on bottom?
Those close off the vent, or partially close it if you or a passenger want a different amount of air blowing from a certain vent, they all have their own.
